Hi
As another said, check the tyre pressure/s
But it could be a bit of oil on the try.
See how it goes and update if you can

On mine, the tyre pressure warning system only warns you when they drop about 4psi. So, if the normal pressure is 35psi, it won't trigger the warning until that drops to around 31psi.
Mine went in for a recent service showing around 32psi and came back without them being touched, except for checking the tread depth.

Thanks all, the tyre pressure was perfect so I’ll take it to a tyre place tomorrow

Wheel spinning on a hill? Not sure that’d be a problem with the tyres or pressures. How’s the clutch?

Don't pay a petrol station for tyre pressure checks. There is a pump in your boot with a gauge on it.

Is there? Does the OP know that you've got a spy cam installed in their boot?

I wouldn't trust the gauge on a foot pump to get any closer than 5psi to the correct pressure, which is why I already suggested doing a manual check. And while I do have a foot pump in my boot it's one without a pressure gauge.

Roads are pretty slippery at the moment. Due to grit etc being laid down & now some damp weather which brings oil etc to the surface.
On hill could easily be diesel split out of a lorry/bus.
